Various mutations have been found in INCL patients ( Hofmann S L, Das A K, Yi W, Lu J-Y, Wisniewski K E. Mol Genet Metab. 1999;66:234–239. [PubMed]Das A K, Becerra C H R, Yi W, Lu J-Y, Siakotos A N, Wisniewski K N, Hofmann S L. J Clin Invest. 1998;102:361–370. [PMC free article] [PubMed]). Most of these mutations are caused by nonsense or missense mutations within close proximity to the catalytic triad. These mutations lead to an inactive PPT1 enzyme as they are predicted to create unfavorable steric, polar, and electrostatic interactions that could disturb the nucleophilic elbow. The nucleophilic elbow is responsible for proper location and orientation of the Ser 115 (part of the catalytic triad link?). Catalytic ability would be greatly reduced if the original position of Ser115 was altered because it must be properly orientated to be activated by His289 (part of the catalytic triad Link?) in order to attack the substrate.
